He could hardly breathe through the blood caked in his mouth. He couldn't even move because if he did another wave of blood would come. The knee to his midsection must have been strong enough to rip his stomach open. The other two idiots must be dead. Kakashi was off fighting the older ninja, probably a Jonin, so he couldn't expect his help either. The three of them just stood there. Why didn't they kill him already? It would at least stop the pain. One of them was getting closer. He stopped right in front of him and kneeled. "Stop!" the red-head shouted. "That's enough, Riku." The other one said. He could barely recognize the voices through the haze the blood loss was causing. The one in front of him must be the silver haired one. He must be moving in for the kill. But he didn't pull out a kunai or any other weapon. He simply whispered in his ear. "Don't let it consume you" he said. "After you lose control it'll never let go no matter what you do." He rose and he heard them leave. After what felt like an eternity he heard a scream and he heard Kakashi's voice calling him through fog in his mind bringing him back from the grip of his own demise.
